Answer:the number of cars that were washed is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cars that members of a senior class.

Let y represent the number of pick-up truck or a sport utility vehicle that members of a senior class.

They charged $3 to wash a car and $5 to wash a pick-up truck or a sport utility vehicle and they earned a total of $275. This means that

3x + 5y = 275 - - - - - - - - -- - -1

They washed a total of 75 vehicles. This means that

x + y = 75

Substituting x = 75 - y into equation 1, it becomes

3(75 - y) + 5y = 275

225 - 3y + 5y = 275

- 3y + 5y = 275 - 225

2y = 50

y = 50/2 = 25

Substituting y = 25 into x = 75 - y, it becomes

x = 75 - 25 = 50

Which of the following is correct equation for the trend line in the scatter plot? A. Y= 2/5 x -2 B. Y= 5x-1 C. Y= 5x +5 D. Y= -
Dafna11 [192]

Answer: C. Y = 5x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

    We need to write, or decide on, the equation for the blue line as this line represents the trend line for this scatter plot. We will write this in slope-intercept form. <em>See attached for a visual</em>.

    First, we will find our slope. We will use \frac{rise}{run} for this since we have a graph with clear points. See attached, we count up [5] and then count to the right [1] for a slope of 5.

     -> Slope = 5

   Now, we will find our y-intercept. This is where the line intersects the y-axis. The line hits the y-axis at point (0, 5) giving us a y-intercept of 5.

     -> Y-intercept = 5

   Lastly, we will write our equation and decide on an answer.

y = <em>m</em>x + <em>b</em>

y = (5)x + (5)

Y = 5x + 5

             C. Y = 5x + 5
